Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can do the Master's degree in Geography through external mode (distance learning or open learning) from recognized Universities. Now, many Institutions in India like IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) and various state open Universities offering M.A. in Geography in distance mode. I must say that it should be UGC-DEB (University Grants Commission - Distance Education Bureau) recognized if you want it for job purpose, or for further studies.

After that, you’ll attend an interview where you discuss your research interest. Once selected, you’ll complete coursework for 6 months to 1 year. Then you start your research, which usually takes 3 to 5 years

If you are preparing for your Class 12 Geography paper for 2025, the key to success lies in understanding concepts rather than rote learning. Geography often involves maps, diagrams, and real-world examples, so practicing those is essential. First, get the latest syllabus from your board’s official website. Break it into units—like Physical Geography, Human Geography, and Environmental Geography.  Map-based questions can fetch easy marks if you practice regularly. Also, revise case studies given in your book because examiners like to see real-world applications in answers.

Hello there,

Yes, the person can still get admission in an IIT if they meet the JEE Advanced eligibility criteria and score well enough in the exam.

Key points:

1. Intermediate (Class 12) passing status: Clearing Maths 1B in advanced supplementary means they passed the subject, so the academic eligibility is met.
   
   

2. JEE Advanced marks: Scoring 400+ in JEE Advanced is a good score and can help secure admission depending on the branch and category.
   
   

3. Other eligibility criteria: The candidate must also satisfy age limit, number of attempts, and other rules set by IITs.

So, if all criteria are met and the rank is good, admission to an IIT is possible despite the initial failure in Maths 1B.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
